It reminded me of how David Curtis, think he is from Yorkshire - somewhere I would love to go to paint someday

Thanks Norah

I did it yesterday and It's actually Watercolour using a Sennrlier set I got as a present a while back, and I used Caran d"Ache water soluble wax oil crayon on the leaves of the trees.

Such a beautiful place you had to swim and how wonderfully you painted it, is it oils Kyrle, the same light touch you have in wc but strength too

Thanks Kevin and Norah, those logs are a sign of the times, the river cannot be touched now so it just gets overgrown and choked up, can't disturb the fish daily, but you can catch and kill them! It used to be pristine, beautiful clean water, I often swam on Xmas Days for the hell of it!
